Greatest Guitarists of all time

You like to see how to play bass guitar?
Have a look this video of di piazza (bass) playing with Bireli :)

If we're talking bassists too, surely Jaco Pastorius deserves a mention.

Another one I've forgotten, The Edge from U2 :cool:
So simple, but the opening riff to "Vertigo" is simply fantastic :D

A thread on greatest guitarists and not a single mention of Buckethead?

Bassists: Bootsy Collins, Bill Laswell

For me, it's not about how many notes per second you can rip of (although Tommy has blistering speed when he turns it out), but more about "how" you play those notes .... These three guys can say more with less.

I think Tommy's brother rates a mention especially where blues are concerned.
Have had some memorable nights at Johnos Blues Bar here in Cairns with Phil really letting rip :twisted:.
He does a great version of Santana's Europa
Cheers,
Paul

For the unenlightened...

Was having brekky in a local cafe a few weeks back with a local gallery director and he casually mentioned he played in the backing band for Bo a few times back in the eighties when he toured here.

Bruce reckoned he was an all round great bloke, even more for putting up with his crap playing :D

Great tread , however Les Paul takes the title for me .Jimmy Hendrix is worth a mention and also a greatest guitar picker there is Albert Lee
